"Is universal basic income a poor tool to fight poverty? No. It’s the best tool to fight poverty, because poverty inside a monetary system is quite simply a lack of money. Poverty is the inability to purchase food and housing. It’s the inability to afford a new outfit for that job interview, or transport to the job if given the job. It’s the inability to afford schooling. It’s the inability to focus on anything except for where enough dollars are going to come from to live day by day. Poverty is a lack of resources."
